Monash and Waseda have been collaborating over 15 years since 21st COE program began. After Waseda Goes Global, Top Global University Project started in 2014, we concluded the agreement of the Joint Supervision Program for PhD students. Two Waseda students have already completed the program and obtained the certificate with both presidents' signature. We have just started a talk to move on to the next step.
Last December Prof. Nishide, the Unit Leader of Energy and Nanomaterials, visited Monash University, it contributed to commencement of discussions for more substantial collaborations to tighten ties and relationship between two university, then Monash delegates visited Waseda.
This time we agreed to start to design a new program for graduate students including those who in master courses, taking advantages of Waseda's network with industrial sectors and Monash's international research environment. In AY 2018 two Monash graduates are supposed to study at Waseda as a first step to building a new program.
